Nothing	The Errors scale is not currently measuring any
	type of error packets.
Packets
Packets	The total number of good packets detected by
	the device, board, or port. Remember, this packet
	count does not include error packets.
Percent Load	Reflects the network load generated by the
	device, board, or port, compared to the
	theoretical maximum load (10Mbits/s) of an
	Ethernet network.

Configuring the Performance Graph

To configure the Performance Graphs:

1.Click on Collisions to display the error mode menu.

2.Drag to select the desired errors mode. The error mode you have chosen will appear on the face of the button; the Performance Graph will refresh to zero and begin to measure using the new mode.

3.Click on Packets to display the packet mode menu.

4.Drag to select the desired packets mode. The packets mode you have chosen will appear on the face of the button; the Performance Graph will refresh to zero and begin to measure using the new mode.

The Performance Graph will now monitor the traffic passing through your IRM2 as a whole or the selected board or port using the user-defined modes. To stop monitoring and to exit the window, click Cancel.
